Massive Procession Marks 400th Anniversary of First Tokugawa Shogun's Death

NIKKO, JAPAN - MAY 18: Three portable shrines dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Minamoto no Yoritomo are paraded down the 1-kilometre approach to Nikko Toshogu shrine on May 18, 2015 in Nikko, Tochigi, Japan. More than 1,000 people including those dressed as feudal warriors and Shinto priests re-enacted the transfer of Tokugawa Ieyasu's grave, marking 400 years since his death. The Hyakumono Zoroi Sennin Musha Gyoretsu (Procession of the 1,000 samurai) is held annually and commemorates the transfer of his remains from Shizuoka Prefecture, where he died, to Nikko Toshogu shrine, his final resting place. Ieyasu (1542-1616) founded the Tokugawa Shogunate that ruled Japan through the Edo Period (1603-1867). (Photo by The Asahi Shimbun via Getty Images)
